Hello, lady from space ^_^ I randomly found your page while was browsing Rei's photos, and I must admit (and ADMIRE, OF COURSE!) the size of your Ayanami shrine!!! Seems that you did a lot of great hunting over those years...

Tahuprime (3 years ago) #2465921I saw you have a FAQ about the VMF dolls, and was just wondering where the best place to find these on the secondary market was. I've looked around a bit but haven't found much. I really want myfigurecollection.net/item/152549 but I doubt I can find her, especially not for a decent price. Just thought I'd ask if you could point me in the right direction to begin looking for her. thanks

i no longer update the FAQ because of IRL circumstances. currently i am not active on any doll or hobby forum either.

if you had actually read the FAQ, you would have seen that there is a fairly extensive guide to WHERE and how to buy VMF/AP dolls. as the FAQ is 1 yr+ out of date there may be some discrepencies but signing up for the forum and asking for more information in the thread would fix that as there are many veteran collectors there - after you read the FAQ, of course, because nothing is more annoying than a redundant question.

sorry if this sounds kind of terse. as it happens i own DC Romina who is the twin/counterpart model to PD Marina.

i repeatedly mention in the FAQ where you can buy both dolls and what price ranges to expect, so please go read it. Thanks, and good luck with your hunt.

leitan (3 years ago) #2040201i think at this point my Reis have spiralled a little out of control *cough* they just keep multiplying *cough* -- in 2009~10 when i start collecting Rei figures, i think i owned less than 6, if that many at all. also sometimes i think that it's better to have a small collection than a large collection like i have currently, and i know at some point i will probably downsizing considerably in my future. sometimes the less you have, the more you appreciate it - although TBH any Rei figures are likely to be the last to be considered for that kind of thing...!
BTW i looked at the Rei figs on your WL and i have had ITEM #160817 on my desk for several months now, she is definitely a current favorite of mine and i really recommend getting her when you can! she also twins up very nicely when paired with ITEM #12841 which happens to be another of my favorite Rei figures.
anyway, definitely i wish you luck on your quest for Asuka and a little bit of Rei to complement her (which is how it works for me, but in reverse!)

Yeah I totally get what you mean about appreciating them more the less you have, but It's pretty hard to stop buying figures for a character you really love (as evidenced by your Rei collection haha)

Yes I really like that White version also and I'll probably pick both of them up in the near future.

leitan (3 years ago) #2033446sending you a gratuitous MFC friend request - take it if you want! - always need some Asuka to balance out the Rei.
also want to say you have awesome taste in figures from what i can see so far - one of the first ever figures i bought was Shunya Yamashita's Bishoujo Rei, and most of his figures are honestly really awesome.
the Asuka figures on your ordered/wishlist are some of my personal faves as well and fairly high upon my own WL when it comes to Asuka figures, so tl;dr - you have really good taste in figures, hooray and welcome!

Thanks! good to feel welcome here being new to the site.

I also like Rei a lot too, but Asuka is my fav (so opposite to you).

Thanks for the kind words and I also like your taste in figures and I'm envious of some of your Reis as I'm yet to own a Rei figure.
